Default adapter bushing

Been installing power braking system but came accost one problem I can’t seem to find an adapter bushing that will go from 7/16 to 3/16. The adapter is needed to attach the rear brake lines to the distribution block. Had to cut all the brake lines, now need to put on new nuts and re flair the lines, I am in Sacramento and have turned the town upside down, any clues where I might find the adapter bushing. The one in the pic is from a new master cylinder, I have contacted the vender where I purchased it to see if they have one but no response as of yet. Thanks for any help.

I had the same problem with my '67. I changed from manual to power. The line fittings are not the same. This prevents installing a powerm/c into a non-power car. I bought 2 different premade lines with connectors, cut off the wrong ones, put on the correct ones, flared the lines and then put them on the car. I had to take both m/c and the proportioning valve with me to the autoparts store to figure which lines to buy.

Is there a Lowes nearby? They have tons of fittings.
